Abstract
A dead Intermediate Egret (Egretta intermedia) was found on the shore of a stream in South Korea in January 2013. Salmonella Typhimurium was isolated from purulent exudates in the foot joints, demonstrating bacterial arthritis. The isolate was similar to a poultry isolate determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
